Oriental DreamWorks only had those employees in the first half of the year, and it was not until the summer season when "Mr. Zombie" was released that it recruited several more people.
Although three vice presidents were appointed, more than half of the departments below were not formed. This time, Kang Jianfei is preparing to expand the company's scale again, and at least the production department must reach the scale of being able to start two dramas at the same time.
While the employees have increased, the office area has to be expanded. Kang Jianfei also rented out the two office rooms next door and was being renovated at this time. It is estimated that he will be able to enter the office after New Year's Day.
Pan Yingzi's advantage is that she knows many people in the circle. When it comes to her ability to make movies, she can only be considered average.
That's why Kang Jianfei asked Pan Yingzi to continue to be the manager of the artist department and free up his position as the manager of the production department.
As for Pan Yingzi's title of vice president of film and television, if she doesn't do well and has other talented people joining the company in the future, Kang Jianfei will also replace it.
When it comes to film talent only, Chen Xunqi is actually slightly stronger than Zeng Zhiwei.
However, Kang Jianfei fought and shouted at Chen Xunqi in another time and space, saying that although this person is talented, his heart will never be settled.
Just like Huang Yaoshi in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you have to learn everything about divination of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, astrology and divination.
This guy learns to direct, drive, and sticks at the moment, and he can't concentrate on doing management work.
Of course, this is all secondary. After all, in another time and space, Chen Xunqi has been a film company boss for several years and has produced several blockbuster movies.
What Kang Jianfei was even more worried was that Chen Xunqi had insufficient management skills at this time, so he asked Zeng Zhiwei to serve as the production department manager, while Chen Xunqi served as Zeng Zhiwei's deputy, and he would train for two years before talking about it.
While Zeng Zhiwei was still happy, Kang Jianfei asked again: What is the progress of the "Best Partner" in New Art City?When will they start the computer?
Kang Jianfei asked very appropriately and did not ask questions about the content of the video, so as not to make it difficult for Zeng Zhiwei to do.
Of course, he didn't need to ask. Kang Jianfei knew better than Mai Jia and others what the movie was made.
Zeng Zhiwei answered truthfully: It is still under planning, and it takes at least until the beginning of the year to start the actual start of the year.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: It seems that they are going to compete with me for the schedule in the summer next year.
Zeng Zhiwei hesitated for a while, put his position as the production manager of Oriental DreamWorks, and gave an idea: "Best Partner" is very similar to "The Royal Sister" and you can shoot "The Royal Sister 2" next summer to block it.
Kang Jianfei nodded with a smile, and he had thought it through now.
In another time and space, in terms of plot and scenes, "The Royal Sister" is actually no worse than "The Best Partner".
The reason why the latter is more famous is because this movie is the pioneering work of such films, so its reputation and box office are very good.
"The Royal Sister" was released much later. Except for being a female protagonist, nothing else can bring much novelty to the audience.
Now that "The Royal Sister" has become the pioneering work, "The Best Partner" can only follow behind and eat badly.
Don’t worry about him in the New Art City. Kang Jianfei smiled and took out a movie planning book from the drawer and handed it to Zeng Zhiwei and said, “I’m going to make a movie after the beginning of the New Year, and you are responsible for the preparation of this movie.”The company's production department is about to expand, and after New Year's Day, it will move into the new office.
When Zeng Zhiwei took the plan, he immediately said in surprise: "The Sword and Ma Dan", Mr. Kang, are you going to film an opera?
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Let's look down."
After watching the general plot introduction, Zeng Zhiwei realized that this was a drama in the early Republic of China.If you continue watching, it is the list of actors: Brigitte Lin, Cherie Chung, Rosamund Kwan, Xiaolong Liang, Dong Wei, Shan Guan...
When Rosamund Kwan was pouring Chen Rongmei's face, Eric Tsang was also present at the time. He knew that she was Guan Shan's daughter, but he didn't expect that Kang Jianfei would give her a role as the heroine this time.
Rosamund Kwan plays Bai Niu in "The Legend of the Sword". In the original version, this character was played by Taiwanese singer Sally Yeh.
However, at this time, Sally Yeh had just returned to Taiwan from the United States and was still an unknown young singer. Kang Jianfei was too lazy to spend time looking for it.
What's more, didn't Guan Zhilin beg Kang Jianfei to give her a scene to be the heroine?Now I can give her an explanation.
The only thing Kang Jianfei is that the acting skills of the three heroines in the film are very testable, but he is afraid that Lin Guan will not be able to perform well by then.
Kang Jianfei said: The performance of Peking Opera in this drama is very important, I want you to help contact Pink Juhua.Dong Wei is the apprentice of pink juicy, you can find him to go with you.Before the Chinese New Year, I want to let Brigitte Lin, Lin Jian and Chu Hong study in the Peking Opera class of Pink Juhua for two months.In addition, you also need to invite some Peking Opera martial artists in the Peking Opera class of Pink Juhua to shoot movies.As for the location selection of the scene, it is probably difficult to shoot in Hong Kong. You need to go to some places in Macau or Southeast Asia to take pictures. Please help me pay attention to the location of the scene.
Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said: No problem, just leave it to me.
Dongdongdongdongdong... There was a knock on the door outside.
Come in.Kang Jianfei nodded at Zeng Zhiwei and signaled that he could leave after nothing was done.
Zeng Zhiwei went out with the movie planning book, and his secretary Chen Shuli came in and said: Mr. Kang, Ms. Pan said that the protagonist of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" has been selected. Do you want to take a look?
Kang Jianfei asked curiously: Are those girls here?
Chen Shuli said: Yes, it’s just outside.
OK, I'll go and have a look.After saying that, Kang Jianfei walked outside and picked up the song he created for "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation".
As soon as he stepped out of the office door, Kang Jianfei heard the chirping of several girls.
When Kang Jianfei walked to the beautiful girls not far away, Gao Zhisen whispered to the female voices, and the female immediately calmed down.
Pan Yingzi handed a folder to Kang Jianfei and said: A Fei, this is their information.
Kang Jianfei took the folder, but his eyes looked at the four girls. Only one of them was recognized by him at a glance, and that was Li Lizhen.
Fourteen-year-old Li Lizhen has no sexy charm of a future third-level goddess. Her eyes and face reveal a kind of innocence, and her face is a little baby fat.
As for the remaining three girls, Kang Jianfei only felt familiar and could not even name them.
The folder contains table materials, photos of the four girls are posted, and their age, height, family status, etc.
Cough cough... Kang Jianfei turned around and suddenly remembered who the other three were. In a sudden surprise, he was so angry that he was choked by his saliva that he started coughing.
Damn, besides Li Lizhen, the other three girls’ names are: Li Meifeng, Li Yàn Shan and Xie Ning.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei’s face was not right, Gao Zhisen asked nervously: Mr. Kang, is there any problem?
Kang Jianfei shook his head funny and said: No problem, I'm just curious how you selected them.
Pan Yingzi smiled and said: What else can I use?A casting advertisement was published directly in the Oriental Daily, and more than 30 girls came to audition the next day.It took us eight days to select four of them from more than three hundred girls.
Kang Jianfei really wanted to say: You are so amazing. You will choose a third-level goddess, a Asian sister, and two Hong Kong sisters in eight days.
Very good, very good, I'm very satisfied.Kang Jianfei nodded and praised, returning the folder to Pan Yingzi.
When Gao Zhisen heard this, a stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground. He was afraid that the actor Kang Jianfei he chose would not be satisfied with.
Kang Jianfei handed over several songs to Gao Zhisen and said: This is the song I wrote for "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation". You can use it to see where it matches you.
Gao Zhisen quickly took the song score and thought to himself that Mr. Kang was amazing and wrote the song casually.
Kang Jianfei praised the girls a few words, and then left the company to find Guan Zhilin.
After Kang Jian flew away, several girls started chattering again.
Xie Ning looked at Kang Jianfei's departure back and said admiringly: Mr. Kang is more elegant than the handsome guy in the movie, and he is so talented, and he can write songs and make movies.
Xie Ning is from Guangdong and is 17 years old this year. He is only a few months earlier than Kang Jianfei.
Her parents are both singers from mainland China. Since Kang Jianfei became famous, Xie Ning's parents have encouraged Xie Ning with Kang Jianfei as an example.
It is said that Kang Jianfei still came here by swimming, only two years older than Xie Ning, but started from scratch and asked Xie Ning to learn more.
Under the influence of her parents, Xie Ning had already admired Kang Jianfei so much that she was full of enthusiasm, so as soon as she saw the casting advertisement in the Oriental Daily, she immediately ran to Oriental Dream Factory to audition.
Li Meifeng, Li Yàn Shan and Li Lizhen came purely for becoming big stars.
The first part of "Happy Ghost" exceeded 10 million in Hong Kong, and now it is about to shoot the second part. Everyone knows that as long as you become the heroine in it, you can become famous immediately, so more than 300 girls came to audition within a few days.
Seeing Xie Ning's eyes lit up, Li Yàn Shan joked: Aning, you are not a secret love for Mr. Kang, right?
Xie Ning blushed and said shyly: No, I'm telling the truth.
Li Meifeng was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she clapped her hands and shouted: It’s red, her face is red, you still won’t admit it!
Li Lizhen also cheered: If we sign in to DreamWorks, Aning, you have a chance.
Xie Ning was thin-skinned, covered his blushing cheeks with both hands, lowered his head and said: I'm just talking nonsense, I ignore you anymore.
The four girls chattered and made a fuss. Pan Yingzi smiled and looked at her without interfering. Gao Zhisen shouted: Speak softly, this is in the company, don't disturb other colleagues in the company.
After shouting several times in a row, several girls finally calmed down. Pan Yingzi then said: Okay, nothing is wrong today. Remember to sign a contract with your parents tomorrow.
Although three vice presidents were appointed, more than half of the departments below were not formed. This time, Kang Jianfei is preparing to expand the company's scale again, and at least the production department must reach the scale of being able to start two dramas at the same time.
